203 The Woman Who Brought Him Shame
“Big brother, how long is this uncle going to sleep? I want him to wake up quickly and play with me.” Lingbao’s eyes were filled with an unconcealable desire as she asked expectantly.
Gu Lin furrowed his brows in embarrassment and said, “I don’t know when he’ll wake up either. But mother definitely knows. Why don’t we go and ask mother?”
“But I want uncle to wake up immediately.” Lingbao climbed onto the bed and raised her chubby little hand to pat the man’s face. “Uncle, it’s time to get up!”
Gu Lin did not know whether to laugh or cry as he watched his sister’s actions. He was about to advise her that it was useless, but he did not expect the man who was still unconscious to open his eyes.
The man opened his eyes in a daze. His vision gradually focused and he saw a cute little face, “Who are you… ? Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!”
The man’s voice was terrifyingly hoarse. He could not help but cough as soon as he opened his mouth. It was as if his lungs were about to cough out as well. His throat was burning with pain.
Gu Lin and Dumby quickly went to fetch water for the man.
The man took the teacup. After drinking a whole cup of water, he felt that the pain in his throat was somewhat relieved.
“Cough, cough, cough, where is this place? Who are you?” The man looked at the three children in confusion and asked.
“My name is Gu Lin. This is my younger brother, Dumby, and my younger sister, Lingbao. It was our mother who saved you,” Gu Lin replied.
The man tried his best to recall what had happened, but he felt a sharp pain in his mind.
All of a sudden, everything that had happened in the cave was replayed in front of his eyes like a walking lantern, reminding him of the humiliation he had felt at that time.
It was also at this moment that the woman who had brought him the humiliation strode into the door.
Seeing that the man had actually woken up, Gu Qingxue raised her eyebrows and asked, “Young Master, you’re awake? How do you feel?”
Seeing Gu Qingxue, the man looked a little vigilant. “I’m fine.”
“Uncle, why are you talking to my mother with a straight face? My mother saved you. Shouldn’t the first thing you said be to thank my mother for saving your life?” Lingbao pouted, she said in a muffled voice, “If it weren’t for saving uncle, my mother wouldn’t have been hurt…”
After being reminded by Lingbao, the man saw the bandage wrapped around Gu Qingxue’s palm, and his eyes darkened. “Thank you for saving my life, Miss.”
“You’re too kind, Young Master. I’m a doctor, and it’s my duty to treat patients and save lives. Young Master, you only need to pay me the medical fees when the time comes,” Gu Qingxue said indifferently, “May I know where you live? Your injuries are no longer serious. There’s no need for you to stay here. You can go home and take care of yourself.”
“Uncle, who are you? Why did you run to the mountains with serious injuries?” Lingbao asked curiously.
The man was silent for a moment. Then he suddenly groaned and covered his head, saying with a troubled expression, “It’s very strange. Why don’t I remember anything?”
Gu Qingxue’s heart tightened when she heard this. She walked quickly to the man and checked the wound on his head. “You really don’t remember anything? Think about it carefully. What’s your name?”
The man still shook his head, “I really don’t remember anything,” he said with a confused expression. “Miss, did you pick me up on the mountain? Do you know if there was anyone else by my side or if there was anything that could prove my identity?”
